	The Fly (1986 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fly is a 1986 science fiction film produced by Brooksfilms and Twentieth Century Fox Television, directed by David Cronenberg, and starring Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis and John Getz.

		Flies breathe via a sprawling network of tiny tubules known as tracheae that pentrate their outer skeleton.
		For a small insect, this method of respiration is phenominally efficient, but a fly the size of a human would simply not absorb enough oxygen to use its muscles.
		Although the special effects are now showing their age (no fly I've ever found around my house looked anything like that) the gory final scene is still upsetting enough to turn stomachs.

	The Fly (1986)
		That's only the beginning; the man's DNA fused with the fly's and over the next several weeks, Seth transforms into something that is no longer Seth but Brundlefly as the insect gradually takes over.
		Perhaps, unsurprisingly, while many people saw The Fly as an AIDS metaphor in the then early days of the disease, Cronenberg, in his audio commentary on the disc, dispels that notion, averring that it is about something much simpler and wholly inevitable: mortality.
		The film came out in 1986 (and looks it, with bad clothes and even worse hair—oh, Jeff, what were you thinking with that leonine helmet?), so this DVD set is not quite a 20th anniversary edition, but it does coordinate nicely with the release of Cronenberg's latest, A History of Violence.

	Classic-Horror Review of The Fly (1986)
		Although The Fly might be best experienced by someone who is completely unfamiliar with the plot, most people who hear about this film will already be familiar with the premise, plus the title gives it away to an extent, so I suppose it's not too damaging to relay the basics.
		The Fly is about the problems that ensue as he experiments on the teleportation of living things.
		The Fly is the perfect vehicle for him to stress the dangers of allowing ourselves to play God and tamper with nature; how our primitive machines are no match for the complexities of what they're making attempts to emulate.

	The Fly (1986)
		What interests me most about The Fly is not matters of theme (of which I am instinctively skeptical anyway), but rather the way in which Cronenberg builds here upon ideas that seem to have been drawn not from the 1958 The Fly, but from its much maligned second sequel.
		The Curse of the Fly is, in the US at least, the forgotten entry in the original series.
		The Fly is a movie with neither pure heroes nor pure villains, and it is all the better for it.

		That film was called The Fly, and it remained a classic until the march of technology proved that the manipulation of organisms at the genetic level could bring just as many, if not more, benefits as compared to disasters.
		Unfortunately, a fly gets into the teleporter with him, and the machine becomes confused due to the presence of two separate genetic patterns, thus deciding to splice the two together.
		This is when Seth explains to Veronica about how a fly got into one of his teleporter pods while he was using it, and that the insect genes that were spliced into his body are starting to take over.

		The original 1958 version of The Fly starred David Hedison as a scientist whose experiments with a matter transfer machine go horribly wrong, leaving him with the head and hand of a house fly.
		Jeff Goldblum stars as Seth Brundle, a geeky scientist who has developed a tele-transporter, which comes to the notice of reporter Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis), and Stathis Broans (John Getz), the certifiable louse who was her former boyfriend and is her present editor.
		The Fly is an intense, sharp updating of the original that in the end sinks under the weight of its gross-out visuals.

	the fly plus sequel and remakes- film reviews for zone-sf.com
		The final scenes of The Fly, in which dodgy visual effects reveal a tiny human face on the fly's body crying out for help because it's stuck in a spider's web, have passed into genre legend as the epitome of high camp, and are often parodied.
		As the original 1950s' version of The Fly was set in Montreal, it was appropriate that Canadian David Cronenberg was chosen to co-write (with Charles Edward Pogue) and direct a new adaptation of the story.
		Cronenberg's The Fly is an intelligent revision of a much-loved yet cheesy SF monster movie, which dispenses with the flashback structure of the 'classic' film and opts for linear storytelling.

		In this version the (this time married) scientist's accident leads to a melding of genetic material, and his transformation into fly is gradual and protracted.
		Compared to the facelessness of Cronenberg's previous "mainstream" project, The Dead Zone (1983), The Fly, although a remake, is a very personal film, returning to the obsessional examinations of bodily metamorphosis and scientific experimentation that run throughout the director's oeuvre.
		Typical of Cronenberg is the combination of graphic sickness and good humor that accompanies Brundle's metamorphosis, which he is at pains always to treat in a philosophical, questioning manner ("Do you know insects have no politics," he remarks.

		He was married to Patricia Gaul from 1980 to 1986.

	The Fly & Return of the Fly DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		Fox has packaged "The Fly" with its first sequel, "Return of the Fly," and the several trailers on the disc (the same ones on both sides) include not only those for the original two movies, but for Cronenberg's version and its sequel.
		Unfortunately, someone thought to improve on the original movie, and Philippe winds up with a fly head that's in the same ratio to his body as it was on the fly: it's about three feet across, and looks like something you'd see in a Mardi Gras parade.
		But "Return of the Fly" is just another horror movie, certainly not up to the level of the precedent-setting original; that was for adults, "Return of the Fly" is, and always was, for kids -- and uncritical kids at that.

	JoBlo's Movie Club - The Fly (1986)
		The Fly is a film in which the power is achieved by its roots planted in the genre of drama, but then given a dark twist of terror to achieve its place as one of the few masterpiece horror films of the 1980’s.
		The Fly is almost like setting new rules, and designing new rooms to a genre that is believed to only fit in a small confined, almost claustrophobic space.
		The Fly is a film that is one of the most touching in cinema.

	The Fly (1986) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In a scattershot year for the genre, "The Fly" sits comfortably with "Anguish", "From Beyond", "Gothic", "The Hitcher", "Manhunter" and "Nomads" as one of the best that 1986 had to offer.
		It then becomes a nightmare journey for veronica as she is torn between her love for Brundle, and the realisation that the corruption of his genius has given way to a terrifying new insanity.
		For what it's worth, Cronenberg's vision of "The Fly" is not a happy one, so don't go into it expecting a rollercoaster ride of gross-out FX, a shallow back story and cardboard cut-out performances.

		Jeff Goldblum is riveting as Seth Brundle, perhaps the most beautifully drawn and masterfully portrayed protagonist in all the annals of mad science (cinematic mad science, at least.) Honestly, there are moments when I want to cry for him.
		Compare to the original The Fly in which Andre tests his new teleportation devices using his son's beloved pet cat.

	dOc treehouse: The Boy Who Could Fly (1986)
		Castle's screenplay covers some fairly well worn territory, but his dialogue and characters are believable (and enriched by fine performances from his cast of veteran character actors and youthful newcomers), and his direction restrained.
		The "high concept" (that a boy can fly if he believes hard enough) is a ready-made moral, but it's only part of a much larger story, an affecting parable about dealing with loss and rediscovering hope.
		It's fearlessly sentimental, and not for the cynical—it nearly falls apart at the end, mostly due to a chase scene and a carelessly developed "villain" (the hospital officials who want to take the troubled Eric away from his uncle), but when that triumphant, title-inspiring moment finally comes, it's impossible not to smile.

		The fly 2: 3 stars, wouldn't say it was great its reasonably good, but it doesn't top the first at all.
		'The Fly 2' doesn't quite pull of in scary terms what the first one achieved, perhaps due to a lack of atmosphere that was so clearly present in 'The Fly', but is an excellent 100 minutes of added entertainment.
		Continuing from the first, Eric Stoltz is the spawn of Seth Brundle, born human but with an accelerated growth 'disease', which in turn means that he grows far quicker than average and also has remarkable intelligence.
